On my PC, my phone contacts also synchronized to Outlook. Since I was using Outlook with exchange, everyone in my phone is also in my email contacts on the server. I was hoping that all of that would be synchronized. I'll look further into it, though. Thanks, Robert Hooper
From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim Kilburn Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 12:55 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: exchange account Hi Robert, When it comes to Exchange and Apple Mail, AddressBook just simply syncs. That is, all the contacts available on the Exchange server are synced behind the scenes. Therefore, even though you don't see these directly in your AddressBook, if you enter the first few characters of an eMail address or contact name that resides on the Exchange server, Mail will either finish it for you or give you choices of the matching recipients. Groups are a little more problematic in that you need to know the actual eMail address of the group, not just the display name. So, if your Group or distribution List is named "Law Students" with the eMail address "legalst...@university.edu<mailto:legalst...@university.edu>", then either type the eMail address or add the address to your own AddressBook giving it the appropriate name and then you are able to use the name or eMail address. Calendars do work in some manner but I'm not totally familiar with it. I do know though that when I received invites, they were placed in my calendar. I suggest that you go to Apple discussions to learn more about iCal and Exchange syncing. HTH. Later...

My question regards the synchronization of information. On my PC, all my contacts and calendar schedule is nicely synchronized. When I set up the mail account on the Mac, I seem to remember it saying something about synchronizing my contacts and calendar with the corresponding Mac applications. However, when opening either iCal or Address Book, there aren't any appointments or contacts to be seen. Is there an additional step I must take? Is there something I am missing in order for this to work properly? Also, on an unrelated note, I hear a lot about a program called Webkit. From the information I am receiving via the list, it seems to be something derived from the native Safari web browser or its code. Could somebody describe exactly what it is, the benefits to using such, and why it may be preferable to Safari? Any information would be greatfully received.
